  1. This kids glove on mob language is annoying, we all know what he meant, the Mob Boss is not really worried about your nice shop you got there. RICO has never been more relevant.
  2. It is painfully obvious from this that he is just wasting time until Donald dies, I mean seriously it is also not working because even in the meek state the hardcore crowd hates desantis, it is the first tenets of fascism, only the leader is pure everyone else is impure and must be purged.
  3. I am definitely bullish on 2024 for the Democratic nominee. Trump has a ceiling, around 46%, all that matters is democratic turnout, which is why we have to act and persuade people as if it were 50/50 and the most important election on earth, 2020 part 2.
  4. It has been my experience that they do not, they are already planning to vote by mail after swearing it off in 2022. It is not facts that drive's them it is negative emotions that do.
  5. I definitely like the idea but like Bodacious Bevo said there is a massive imbalance between states with essentially one school (MU, LSU) and states like TX that have uncooperative schools (aggies), I legitimately envision a scenario where UT starts winning again and aggies start sandbagging on legislation. Plus isn't the lege out until 2025?
  6. This movie was fucking excellent, the whole morality play really fucked with me for the entire afternoon.
  7. I know a MAGA clown that "supports" the consitution daily, but he has never read it like 0, I twist the knife so many times you would think he would take the 30 mins just to get it over with, but no.
  8. That was the rubicon, when his first indictment came and everybody stayed at home it gave the other DAs courage to go all the way. Justice should not work like this, but political reality means that Donny was the most DOJ protected private citizen in the US.
  9. I definitely encountered meaness on both sides particularly around 2012-2016, but the left calmed the fuck down and the far right doubled down. the Jan 6 people wanted to hang Pence, the #2 man in their party, they probably would have if they had a chance.
  10. (1) No compensation to a student athlete for earning or attempting to earn compensation from the use of such student athlete's name, image, likeness rights, or athletic reputation shall be conditioned on such student athlete's athletic performance. Those providing compensation to a student athlete for the use of his or her name, image, likeness rights, or athletic reputation shall have the right to condition payment of that compensation on a student athlete's attendance at a particular postsecondary educational institution. It is 100% a pay for play law Presumably he can pay them back and flip, as I said on my first post it is not indentured servitude, maybe pay interest on the payment but more than that it runs afoul of other laws, and Missouri's NLI totals is way less than both UTs so that is why I see it likely, it is just a prediction though. Assuming perfectly rational actors and he flips at the last moment: He wins by getting money early, Mizzou wins by fabricating recruiting momentum, but at the end of the day they are a poor program and nothing real has changed.
  11. Interesting, I have always wondered why TSMC has been on schedule in Arizona, it must be well written legislation and the enormous amount of money.
  12. Look I am a self important self aggrandizing member of the protectionist Import Substitution wing, IS can be a massive failure when done wrong, making a monitor panel factory in Wisconsin, is a failure, you are wasting good money for electoral propaganda, this is terrible IS. The CHIPS act on the other hand is not, this is smart IS because it identifies a gargantuan blindspot (bleeding edge node lithography) AND the only place this is manufactured is Taiwan a country that can be invaded or blockaded. Intel, TSMC, Foxconn et al are the greedy same, the difference is the incompetent orange leadership at top that wanted a photo op holding a golden shovel.
  13. We know the size of his hands though https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/03/donald-trump-hand-display-madame-tussaud-wax-museum#:~:text=Using a measuring apparatus%2C the,hand size of 7.44 inches. Using a measuring apparatus, the Reporter found the hand to be a mere 7.25 inches – compared to the average male hand size of 7.44 inches.
  14. It is not moving the goal post, the most important part in the whole law is the NCAA being told to go to hell, that is the absolute most key part.
  15. Lol this is not remotely the same, this does nothing to shield the school from NCAA sanction. The MO and TX laws clearly do. https://www.lhsaa.org/siteuploads/lhsaa/20583_pdf_eccker-sports-partner-lhsaa-release.pdf
  16. Correct, only a salary cap and no regulatory teeth can bring back under the table payments.
  17. LA drafts a law that says LSU can pay players in HS at any age, not all of them of course they will be selective and give money to the ones showing more prospect. By the time of early signing period they are so much in debt to boosters that picking corndog is inevitable. We lose every recent NIL recruit save Arch. TX drafts a law that says UT can pay players in HS at any age, aggie kills it at committee. The wild wild west is a an illusion of progress, first you get the economic uptick and migrations, and then comes the bad parts.
  18. That used to be the place where bags were "accidentally" dropped near cars and handshakes with a lil sumpin sumpin used to happen. These days recruits see that as just payment for being on the attendance list. Yup, but it also conveniently gives cover to grifters that sell 9.99 subscriptions on how to spin a loss
  19. You don't need to prove much, just catch them in a lie and they go to prison. In a world that heavily regulates CFB Bag men would not exist, SEC dominance has come as a result of the defanging of the NCAA by the courts and university presidents. Instead we have the www that can blow up at any moment.
  20. If bag men can go to prison for lying then we return to the equilibrium at the turn of the century when CFB was at its best. Right now we have an unstable mess that could all unravel at any moment and undo all that was accomplished. Wait until LA allows for all HS players to get LSU money as freshmen, and one of the biggest inroads successes vanish. It is very naive to assume that the wild wild west is good.
  21. It is the wild wild west right now, the SCOTUS created this with the Kav opinion, him stating that he was going bury the NCAA no matter what. What was needed was federal guardrails. federal subpoenas, actual teeth in the investigations for bag men. Wait until other states allow for the payment of HS players as long as they stay in state and a jealous aggie politicians object to changing the law to compete. LA is one dumbfuck law away from undoing all our current inroads.
